Counting down to Christmas!
Well, two weeks until the big man arrives......and all the food is consumed, the alcohol drunk and the packages unwrapped and the paper thrown away and we all say "never again will I eat/drink/cook/buy so much......"
It is summer here, and the cricket is on - yes, we are winning the Ashes and whomping England but I am not going to brag or anything......

The weather is conducive to water sports, swimming and playing on the beach.

November Winners for Unstampabelles
Hello Friends
We hope that you are all well and that your lives are travelling easy. Not too much snow or heat or rain or fire! How are your preparations or Christmas going, if you celebrate Christmas? Mine are slow - or perhaps I am slow! Thought you might all like to see another photo of the Derwent River, which flows just outside my craft room window.
This photo was taken from the air, naturally, and shows the now famous MONA Museum and Art Gallery - the red buildings - and the winery on the small frying pan outlet into the river just a few kilometers upstream from us. In the background on the left you can see the Cadbury chocolate factory too (white). Of course, we live on the Eastern shore of the river - more in the background here - and further south. As a Tasmanian, I can get in free to MONA. There are restaurants and a wine bar, a public space where concerts and markets are put on and I believe some amazing accommodation as well. You can drive (takes us about 10 minutes) or catch a water ferry.
We all feel like winners when we go there and the fellow who created it - David Walsh - has really singlehandedly changed the economy of our state in a positive way.

#75 Zentangle your way to Christmas....
TWIST make a non-traditional item
Prize
Emboss folder, diecut and some sparkle
You can zentangle some placemats or coasters; what about your apron or over gloves?
Of course, you could zentangle came cards or tags but just not in a traditional way......in fact, they don't even have to be Christmas cards!
You can use your zentangle as a backgound, foreground or even tangle over the embellies!
HINT: a fine tipped pen is better!
The Design Team are wonderful - they take up the challenges as well and come up with some amazing stuff. This time is no exception!
Figgy Pudding!
